In the location's words:

SUBSTAGE Karlsruhe e.V. is a live music club, i.e. we organize and host live concerts by national and international artists, with acts from the region in particular being an integral part of our programme. We are not limited to a specific genre - rock, electro, ska, metal, pop, hip hop, reggae, blues - everything is welcome. We are open to a lot - if it suits us. We have no place for homophobia, sexism, racism and discrimination in any form. In addition to concerts, our program also includes regular parties. An important part of our work is the promotion of the local music scene and so we dedicate ourselves to up-and-coming musicians by offering many performance opportunities for regional acts. We organize band coaching, seminars, workshops and the NEW.BANDS.FESTIVAL together with other partners in the Popnetz network.

SUBSTAGE is a non-profit organization. This means that we do not work commercially. Our team of permanent employees is small and without the support of many mini-jobbers and freelancers, we would not be able to keep the club running. ♥

We opened our second stage on the upper floor in 2016, where we offer music and culinary delights in the "bar, cucina e musica" MINESTRONE (formerly "Substage Cafe"). Concerts are held here regularly and the local scene presents itself at "Karlsunruhe". Thousands of bands have performed at SUBSTAGE since 1990, including many legends, and we are working to ensure that many more will follow. Thanks to all those who have been with us for a long time and a warm "hello" to all the newcomers: We look forward to seeing you!

Questions about SUBSTAGE Karlsruhe

1. can I pay by card at SUBSTAGE Karlsruhe?

Unfortunately, it is not possible to pay by card at SUBSTAGE itself - so remember to bring enough cash with you. However, you can also pay by EC card at MINESTRONE.

2. is SUBSTAGE Karlsruhe barrier-free?

Yes, both SUBSTAGE and MINESTRONE are barrier-free. Persons with a severely disabled person's ID B pay the regular admission fee, the accompanying person is free and does not need an extra ticket.

3. what is the best way to get to SUBSTAGE Karlsruhe?

SUBSTAGE Karlsruhe is located at the "Tullastraße/ Alter Schlachthof" stop - so it is easy to reach by public transport. SUBSTAGE does not have its own parking spaces. Normally you can park on the surrounding grounds of the former slaughterhouse - otherwise the bicycle is also a good alternative to get to SUBSTAGE Karlsruhe.

4. is there a cloakroom at SUBSTAGE Karlsruhe?

Of course you don't have to lug your winter jacket around for the whole event - but be quick, if the cloakroom is full, there is no alternative. The checkroom is guarded at all times and there is a storage fee of 1.50 euros per jacket or bag.

5. how does an event at SUBSTAGE Karlsruhe work?

Of course, every experience and every event varies - so there is no clear-cut answer. But before the event takes place, you can use the following as a guide:

Ticket purchase

There are several ways to purchase tickets for the events in advance:

  • Directly from us at SUBSTAGE during office hours(Tuesday 14:00 - 18:00, Wednesday 15:00 - 18:00): There is a small fee for advance sales and only cash payment is possible!
  • VVK outlets: There is usually an additional advance booking fee here too (Musikhaus Schlaile, Kaiserstr. 75, Karlsruhe)
  • Online: Simply click on the "Buy ticket" button in the respective event and you will be linked to the ticketing page.

Vouchers for concerts at Substage: Can't decide which concert you want to attend or are you looking for a gift? No problem, there are also vouchers for tickets.

Please also note the admission and youth protection rules!

Reservation: Sometimes it is also possible to reserve tickets for the Box Office, in which case there is a "Reservations" button at the respective event. Fill in the reservation form here and confirm the desired ticket reservation via the link sent by e-mail. The reserved tickets will be returned to the Box Office 30 minutes after admission. Most events are excluded from the reservation option. It is generally not possible to reserve advance tickets, please simply use the advance booking service.

Persons with a Karlsruhe Pass pay 50% of the box office price upon presentation.


Admission regulations

First of all: SUBSTAGE Karlsruhe is sorry for every guest they have to turn away. Please note: Re-entry is only possible with a valid stamp.
In principle, everyone is welcome, but in some cases admission may be refused:

  • Heavily intoxicated persons
  • People who attract negative attention due to their appearance (see "Dress code" below) or their behavior
  • At parties: no admission for (costumed) bachelor/bachelorette parties.
  • Dress code: There is no set dress code at SUBSTAGE, the general rule is: Come as you are! - Of course, the generally accepted social codes should be observed. There is one exception: people with clearly right-wing clothing labels will be refused entry. We also don't want to see any clothing from so-called "gray zone bands".
  • Finally, a request to all male guests: please think before you take off your shirt and be considerate of the other guests, who may not like it at all.

And otherwise bring a good mood and lots of fun!
